A fine letter from Joe Flounders tells of the arrival of a new son Joseph Walkden Flounders on January 31. Lila May and Joe bought a house in Bala-Cynwyd, new Philadelphia, last fall and were for some time occupied largely with freshening up the 27-year-old place, 95% of which they did themselves. Joe is now rounding out his eighth year with Schuylkill Paper Company in Philadelphia, and he hopes to round out a good many more eight years there.
Joe mentions having dinner after last year's Princeton football game with Gloria andZeke Lanzillo, who have a four-month-old daughter Lisa Maria, and Faith and Bill Wallace, now on the Rutgers faculty in New Brunswick, N. J.
John Fondahl has just completed a two-and-a-half-year long dam and powerhouse job for Winston Bros, near Sacramento, Calif., and he is now on the faculty teaching Civil Engineering at Stanford University. Since his teaching duties will not start until March, John is currently building his house in Los Altos, Calif.

Treasurer George Ferrarese reports the results of the third mailing for class dues somewhat encouraging. Total returns now number 385, representing little over half of the class members. George says that the $1540 received will mean we will barely break even this year. It is still not too late to send George your $4 dues which will include your subscription to the ALUMNI MAGAZINE.
